Synthesized from 15 Yomimono stories · updated 6h ago

KAF's recent activity is split between festival bookings and game music. She appeared at NIGHT HIKE 2026 in Makuhari, joining Sana Natori for a duet on day two, November 1. That followed her addition to the second wave of performers for the event in late July, alongside Kizuna AI, Sana Natori, and KMNZ. The festival report treats her set as regular programming, with no separate virtual-singer framing.

In game music, KAF released BLUE SIGNAL as the 9th anniversary song for Azur Lane on September 7, 2026. The news came at her 5th ONE-MAN LIVE and the AZUR LANE SPECIAL MUSIC LIVE, both held the same day. Kanata Okajima and Shuya Masayoshi wrote and composed the track.

A promotional video with game meat restaurant Kome to Circus premiered September 1, ahead of the KAMITSUBAKI Yokohama event. In it KAF eats sea turtle soup and meat she was not told about, which she describes as "unconfirmed tastes." PIEDPIPER, the producer of her studio, appears alongside her. The collaboration came out of her earlier visits to the restaurant and the staff's history as her fans.

Her next confirmed appearance is NIGHT HIKE 2026 in Makuhari, where the second-day lineup has KMNZ opening the Night Stage at 12:45 and Sana Natori performing after 14:40 on the Hike Stage with the new song Himitsu Kagi and a duet with KAF. No other dates are given in these stories.
